Microsoft released Windows Template Studio 2.0
To help developers create Windows 10 applications faster and easier, Microsoft today officially launched Windows Template Studio 2.0. Although this open source tool did not bring many new features in this update, it can be seen that Microsoft is steadily advancing and improving, mainly in the background.
With the help of the Visual Studio team, the new version has a significant improvement in the user interface. Developers can quickly locate the Windows Template Studio interface. According to Clint Rutkas, senior technical product manager at Microsoft, “We’ve done a lot of work improving the user interface and being sure we’re fully accessible for all developers. By partnering with the Visual Studio team, we feel the new interface is faster and more approachable. We’ve improved our template updating experience, our actual templates and much more. Our wizard also now detects dark, light and high contrast modes of Visual Studio.”
